More discouraging is that about 77% of all legible voters went to the election. And 13% of those are horrible xenophobes.

Today there is an election in Germany. According to the first prognosis 13% of all seats go to wannabe Nazis. It'll be an awful 4 years.

I think my lithium-ion batteries I bought from China a while ago are busted. They can't hold the charge for two hours. I'll try to charge them longer but I don't have high hopes. They were super cheap. I'm not particularly surprised.

I paid 20 bucks for a stupid rubber band for my wrist watch. At least I found an original band for my watch. My current one lasted 12 years.

Lenovo brings out a 25th anniversary Thinkpad with a good keyboard! A GOOD keyboard. No chicklet.

The more code I read in the project's code base the more I dread my life choices. The code is horrible and unreadable. The whole thing has to be thrown into a trash bin, the trash bin thrown into a trash compactor, the compacted trash eaten by a Dianoga ( http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Dianoga ), getting excremented by the Dianoga, and the remains put in the seemingly never-ending nuclear fire of the sun.

After binging "BoJack Horseman" I'm watching now "Glow" on Netflix. A bunch of women in the 1980's who want to do wrestling for a living. It's more character drama than actual wrestling.

I hate when comic artists trace or poorly photoshop an actor's face. Star Wars #34 was good but the faces were too much out of place. #35 is just as bad in this regard.

I think Princess Carolyn is the best and most interesting character in BoJack Horseman. Right after that I'm tending torwards Hollyhock. The worst is Mr Peanutbutter. I disgust his pathetic positive platitude.

Today's pony episode felt very S1/S2-ish. Was good.

Next time I have to repair my headphones I need to replace the cables with completely new ones. Maybe it's the 5th time the cable broke at either end of the cable.

I'm furious that the government wants to abolish flea markets on Sundays. In Germany Sunday is traditionally a day of rest and only specific establishments (restaurants, bars, gas stations...) are allowed to make trades and it depends on the event. However a court ruling said that flea markets with a predominantly commercial slant are not allowed, whereas a flea market next to an event (festivities) or charity flea markets are OK. All my life I'm going to flea markets on Sundays and NOW they think it's not OK. There are also few flea markets on Saturdays but most people don't go there because people work on Saturdays and there is other stuff to be done.

I tried watching House of Cards on my way to work but it was impossible. My commuting time is too short for 50+ minute episodes. 22 Minutes are about the sweet spot for this scenario. Besides the length the pacing is not suitable for fast consumption. I'll binge-watch Archer next.

>me not liking programming in Java
>static code analyzer marked a bad code line
>something about dereferencing a null pointer
>looks at code
>looks how horrible the whole method is
>uses new Java 8 methods
>reduces the lines of code from 20 to approx. 5
>code is more readable
>teaches the old guard new tricks
I still wish the project was in C++ and programmed with less BS like DSL files that are totally unnecessary

I finished binging Bojack Horseman. What an emotional gut punch.

I think Princess Carolyn is the best character in Bojack Horseman (no pun intended).
